The failure of the Scottish Government to implement successive electoral mandates from the people to progress this aim has been deeply damaging to both the Indy cause and the welfare of the people of #Scotland.

I am not a politician first or foremost, but a mother, daughter,partner,neighbour,lawyer. In each of these roles trust, honesty and respect are required. If I pretend to be someone or to want something which is false and am thereby outed as dishonest I expect to lose that trust.
In fact my dishonesty deserves that loss. So if as an amateur politician, scunnered with the professionals and their approach, I nod and smile to those of a different Independence supporting party, I expect a nod, an acknowledgement, maybe even a daft wee smile.
It wasn't expected that other Independence supporting real politicians from other parties would blank me in Arbroath last weekend; a one legged woman immortal, bionic and who can shout, isn't invisible, no matter how much certain males may hope so.
